"Harpy Eagle Of The Amazon"
"Harpy Eagles are highly endangered in the Amazon Rainforest where habitat loss and systematic killing by ranchers seeking to protect livestock has led to near extinction in Brazil. Leaving a day after Thanksgiving, I traveled to the Brazilian rainforest to photograph a nest with a two-week old Harpy eagle chick. Because they live at the top of the rainforest canopy lack of access leads to huge problems for photographers. Thus, many images of Harpy Eagles are of captive birds. It is even more rare to have a chance to photograph a new-born chick and parents in the wild which led me to take on this challenge.\r\nHarpy Eagle are the third largest raptor in the world. They are forest dwellers that hunt sloth, monkeys, snakes and other large reptiles. The eagles photographed in this series were fully wild and non-habituated. A temporary 20-meter high tower was slowly erected about 35 meters from the nest. Every aspect of this project was studied and monitored by US and Brazilian biologists."
